Last Thursday evening’s Information Night
We had a successful event on
Thursday evening. Not quite as crowded as last year – the fact that both the
Giants and the 49er’s were playing probably didn’t help, - but those in
attendance (about 40 parents) had a very favorable response. Kelly, Michael,
Michele, and Chris Peterson did an excellent job of presenting our 6th
grade and elective programs, and four students gave fantastic testimonials of
their experiences at AoA. The really neat thing is that the content of the student presentations
echoed what we are focusing on as a staff both academically and behaviorally. I’ll keep
you in the loop regarding enrollment. We are shooting for 170 students per
grade level next year and our hope is that we will have a lottery on 3/7.
